July 2017 - Monthly Wrap-Up

If I had to sum up July with one word...it would be HOT! It was pretty miserable for some of the month and I ended up floating in my pool more than usual. We were off of work the first week of the month and had fun hanging out around the house. I read a lot more books than I usually get through in a month which is a bit of a surprise since I started the month out pretty slow in regards to reading. I was pretty consistent with blogging in July, posting 27 days in the month.

My month was great but stinky reading-wise. Like you, I took a week off for a stay-cation but I got zero reading done! We did some road-tripping to nearby locations we had never visited in the 20+ years we've lived in our state. It was fun but I missed reading.

I can relate to the hot! Not only have you had a consistent week but it looks like all your books were great reads too! I'm really excited to see what you think of The Spell Book of the Lost and Found. I'm really curious about that one.

Yay for being able to get so much more reading done than usual! But YES, it has been so hot here in NC. Our air conditioner broke and is still not completely fixed so I am hoping it will cool down soon. :

July were I live was hot too! Most of my time was spent either in front of a fan or in AC. August, though, has been a lot cooler. I can even smell fall slightly, which makes the fall lover in me so happy. That's awesome you go so many books read this month! The Spellbook of the Lost and Found looks amazing. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on it. Happy reading! :)

It seemed her every fantasy was coming true . . . until her new husband disappeared without a trace. Now, two years and one broken heart later, Josie is shocked by the hospital calls: Shane has been found . . . at a crime scene with no memory of how he got there.

Her Love Can Save Him

Shane can't remember the blue-eyed angel at his bedside—or who he even is—but he knows something isn't right. His hearing is razor sharp, his physical strength incredible, and the urge to protect Josie overwhelming. For powerful enemies are hunting him, and Josie is the key to disc…
